Gynecomastia

Excessive male breast tissue can inhibit normal activities such as being in a bathing suit. The tissue can be removed to some degree by liposuction but traditional dissection also plays a roll if the gynecomastia tissue cannot be removed with liposuction alone. The surgery may take up to 2 hours under general anesthesia. Drains may be necessary for a few days. A vest pressure garment is helpful and is often worn for 2-3 weeks after surgery. Scarring is usually minimal.
